MACHINE FOR MAKING STICKY FLY-PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 480,071, dated August 2, 1892. Application filed May 2, 1892- Serial No. 431,519. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern,

Be it known that I, FRANK B. CLAGGETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oshkosh, in the county of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Sticky Fly-Paper; and I do declare the following to be aful1,clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to machines for manufacturing sticky fiy-paper; and it consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will hereinafter be described and claimed.

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a simpler, cheaper, and more uniform means for distributing the sticky substance; second, to increase the rapidity of manufacturing, and, third, to provide an improved mechanism for creating the interval in the distribution of the sticky substance where the paper is to be afterward cut into sheets.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 aplan View, of the device embodying my invention.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout both the views.

I provide strips of paper that have previously been sized and rolled into rolls.

A A are the rolls of paper adapted to be unrolled and the paper drawn therefrom by means of the rollers m nthat is to say, the rollers m n engage each other at each end where the clear margin of the paper passes and may be provided with rubber bands t t to more strongly engage the paper and pull it from the rolls A A as the rollers m and n revolve. The power to operate the machine is applied to the shaft 5, extending from the roller n. As the roller n is revolved, the cogwheel n, attached thereto, engages the co wheel m, attached to the roller m, and revolves it in the opposite direction.

B B B B are printing-rollers provided with rubber-type facing to print the trade-mark, directions, or other printed matter upon the strip.

0 O O O are pressure-rollers operating therewith, and D DD D are the inking-rollers.

In operating the machine the paper a from the rollA is drawn, as indicated by the arrows, between the printing-roller B and the pressure-roller O, is thereby printed on one side, and then passes over and around the printing-roller B and the pressure-roller G and printed upon the opposite side. It is then drawn around the large guide-roller F and aroundtheguide-roller G,whichpressesit upon the coating-roller H. The roller H is partially immersed in the stickly fluid 1, contained in the supply-pan J. After passing around the roller G the paper a moves forward between the rollers m and n. The paper a from the roller A is not coated; but after passing through printing-rollers corresponding with those which print the strip ct and and over the guide-roller f it is drawn down between the rollers m and 'n and pressed upon the coated strip a. After the paper has passed between the rollers mand n the two strips are pressed together and then pass to the cutting device, (not shown) which cuts the paper into proper sheets for packing.

1n the manufacture of such sticky fly-paper it is necessary that the outside margin of the sticky sheet after it is cut for packing should not be coated with the adhesive material. The roller H is shorter than the width of the paper, and a margin is thereby provided lengthwise of the strip; but it is also necessary in coating the continuous strip of paper to provide intervals across the paper where it is not coated. For this purpose I provide a means for automatically raising the guideroller G and the paper which passes around it from the coatingroller H. The guideroller G is journaled to the end of the arm 0, which latter is pivoted to the upright supporting-post at P. X is a pin or projection extending laterally from the cog-wheel 'm, and as the wheel revolves the pin X strikes against the opposite end of the arm 0, press ing it downward and raising the end supporting the roller G away from the coating-roller H. After the pin Xhas been revolved beyond the arm the roller G drops to its former position and again presses the strip of paper upon the coating-rollerI'I. An interval is thereby created at each revolution of the Wheel m, and the pin may be moved in the slot to regulate the length of the interval. The double strip is cut for packing at the place Where this interval is created.

That I claim as my invention is 1. In amaehine for makingsticky fly-paper, the combination of a pan for holding a flycatching substance, at coating-roller Working in said pan, a guiding-roller for bringing the paper in contact with the coating-roller, and a pivoted lever or its equivalent for raising said guiding-roller and the paper carried thereby out of contact with the coating-roller, and means for operating the lever, whereby spaces at regular intervals are formed on said paper, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. In a machine for making sticky fly-paper,

the combination of a supply-pan for holding a fly-catching substance, a coating-roller working in said pan, a guiding-rollerGabove said coating-roller for bringing the paper to be coated in contact with the coating-roller, and a pivoted lever connected by one end to the said guiding-roller G and its other end Working in conjunction with a pin on a feed-roller, whereby the guidil'ig-roller is automatically and periodically raised, thereby raising the paper at regular intervals from off the coating-roller to form uncoated spaces, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
